  1. Unless something positive happens here soon I'm about to jump off the Yzerman bandwagon. If we select MBN or some other 200ft blah, blah, blah guy when trade ups are cheaper than giving away your 2nd best defenceman I'm done.

    Walman isn't the guy you dump and shouldn't need an asset attached. He's worth that contract... this better be 3D chess and not opening a spot for Holl.

    At some point they lose him for a 2nd, he just has to stay in school... so they don't have as much leverage as you'd think.

    An absolute pipe dream, but I like it.

    I'd only consider a move down to trade Copp not Chiarot. Copp is an anchor, Chiarot is serviceable.

    I hope not... Canada needs one decent goalie... it's pretty sad up here.

    2024 Draft

    This will be fascinating to see play out... trading the pick, trading up/down, or making a selection at 15 are all in play I think. This could be a really exciting off-season.

    2024 Draft

    I agree and that's a problem... we have enough of that type, we need some pure skill guys. We have the 200ft guys that can allow a skilled guy to flourish. I think 15, Berggren and one of Fabbri, Holl, Matta, Chairot (whichever they want) since they need we need to move cap out.

    2024 Draft

    I'd really like to add Zegras. I think pairing him with Copp or Compher as one of his wingers would mitigate his defensive lapses. The other winger is TBD. I know he's not an "Yzerman type" but we need some high end skill on this team not just 2-way 35 point middle 6'ers.

    What's a trade for Necas look like? Our 1st + Wallinder? Or. A 2nd and Berggren?

    Raymond at 6.5 would be a 3-4 year contract I reckon. Can't see him taking 8 at that number.

    Apparently, it's "so back". Raymond at 6.5 would be a 3-4 year contract I reckon. Can't see him taking 8 at that number.

    Which begs the question if those dumpster fires all have any form of no move why did our GM do such a thing.

    I think we add picks to keep retained salary down. I think the Sharks would jump at Copp 25% retained for a 2nd in 2026 and a 3rd in 2025. They need NHL bodies that suck for about that long to insulate their kids and draft high.

    He's Bedards 1st cousin, it'll be rigged again for Chicago in '26. So they'll pick another favorite or do a legit lotto this year.

    Toronto vs. Boston

    When we sign mediocre players to too much money and term 'cause Michigan'... I sure do find that problematic.

    Toronto vs. Boston

    This is partly our problem, collecting players with Michigan ties and paying a premium for the privilege of their mediocrity.
